best price on a Jabsco

[Rick]

Peggy: I know you don't generally like the Jabsco manual heads. However, I've got children in college so an expensive electric model isn't in the cards just now. However,you mentioned several times that they can generally be had for $99 or so when they're on sale as an alternative to a rebuild effort. I've been looking but I haven't found any anywhere near that price ($130 is the cheapest I've found). I'm not asking for a commercial plug, but can you suggest specifically where I can find one for $99 or so because I can't find any anywhere near that price point ...Rick

Not worth $99

Rick:Shop around for a PHII or even a Groco. There is probably no marine head that has more problems that these cheap Jabsco's.I purchased a PHII last year for about $225. You better half and the kids will appreciate it too. I you need to purchase another head in a year or two, you have not saved ANY money and you have caused yourself a lot of aggravation.You may find the Jabsco's on sale in the spring when they start having spring sales.

Be patient...

It'll turn up somewhere for $99 by spring. However, somewhere between $99 and $350 for an electric toilet is a pretty good manual toilet that you can afford. In fact, someone has a brand new Raritan PH II on eBay right now...high bid is $162. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=26449&item=2445899651If you can get it for anything under $200, it would be the best deal in town. But if you're determined to buy the cheapest, Boaters World has a brand new Jabsco manual on eBay right now...auction ends in about an hour...no bids yet...try $50, with a max bid of $99. It's at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=26449&item=2446361750 If you miss that one, they have another one up that ends in 2 days.
